About This Quote
When people say that they would choose to die rather than to suffer, they usually mean that dying is a better alternative to living the way they are now. Of course, this is true for many of life’s hardships, but it’s also true for death. It may sound strange, but there are times when I’d rather die than live a life of misery and pain. I’ve experienced things in my life that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, and they have left me with memories that bring tears to my eyes whenever I think about them.
